PERHAPS in the history of the world

PERHAPS in the history of the world
there is not another instance of the chief
ruler Of nation ostentstiously insulting
the nations most sacred feelings as
President Cleveland did in rushing of
on fishing excursion just as the whsle
American people were about to gather
round the graves of their dead heroes
and testify their regard for them by
love and tears and flowers.
But for these dead heroes and their
awful sacrifices the burly Buffalonian
would probably never have been heard
of outside of bis native town. But for
their tolls and suffering and death 1t
would never have been possible for him
to become the chief magistrate of the
greatest and freest nation on the globe
Yet, occupying this exalted position, be
is the one man. who, on the very eve OF
the day sacred to our dead soldiers
memories. day which the mIghtiest
monarch or the humblest peasant of Eu
rope would alike have been glad to hon.
or had he been In America, this man of
Buffalo. who should have been the first
to stand uncovered amongst those who
bowed around these soldiers graves.
hies him off to the depths of the forest,
and, with little knot of servitors and
toadies, spends the day in tishingl
OF course it was to be expected. The
man who. iu brutal veto messages. ridi-
culed the wounds and sufferings of our
living heroes and baked the nations
gratitude and justice toward our totally
disabled veterans could hardly be ex>
pected to feel genuine respect or
gratitude toward the dead. But even if
as man he looks upon those dead he
roes with indifference or contempt,still
decent regard for his own position as
chief magistrate of the republic might
have made him pay at least formal re-
spect to those who died that the repub
lie might live.-O. S. Journal.

TIE Philadelphia Press remarks that
the murder of Editor Gambrell at Jack
son, Miss, is forcible reminder of the
methods by which Grover Cleveland was
placed in the White House. 1t says:
The same brutal spirit which put
three bullets into the body Of Prohibi-
bition Gsmbrell and then battered his
face into shapeless mass with the butt
of pistol has murdered hundreds of
colored men in the South for daring to
he Republicans, has robbed ballot boxes
and tally sheets, has stolen Governor
ships and seats in Congress, and finally
laid its bloody hand upon enough electo-
raj votes to grasp the Presidency"

THE Democratic doctrice is: do not
protect home industries. II they can
not stand alone let them fall. Buy
where you can buy. If you have got to
go to Europe for your goods, go, rather
than help build up factories at home"
And shese Democrats turn round and
talk of being the friends of the work
ingmen and of the farmers. the very
class OF persons that their doctrine
would ruin. 1t is surprising that peo>
pie can have any patience with such
doctrine. especially as its fruits were such
in years gone by as to impoverish the

we do slam right into the truth without ever
suspecting it:
The men employed by the gas company go
round and speculate the meter.
And here, with "zoologicar and Ageologi-
cal" in his mind, but ready to his tongue, the
small scholar has innocently gone and let ous
a couple of secrets which ought never to have
been divulged in any circumstances:
There are a good many donkeys In theo-
logical gardens
Some of the best fossils are found In theo-
logical cabinets.-The Century.

POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED.
l. If we love any one more than God, we
have other gods beside him.
2. If our chief delight is in beautiful face,
Ia houses or works of art we are guilty Of
making these things our idols.
8. We should shun profanity and every
thing that sounds like it, and an false swear
ing.
l. We should not spend the Sabbath in our
own pleasure, for God has said: Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. We forget
the one commandment which God has told Us
to remember and prefane the day when we
use it in travelling, visiting or reading secu-
lar books and newspapers. When God says
remember, let not man say forget. et.-Sunday

wayy pillows without much ceremony;
In falling into the water, Mr.. Munson caused
the boat to turn completely over. Miss Oliver
is an expert swimmer and without much ado
she struck out for shore. Mr.. Munson could
not follow her example. as his education In
swimming had been sadly neglected. He tried
to grasp the boat, but failed. Miss Parkinson

he could swim. In moment he had gone
down. In the twinkling of an eye she was in u
boat and In less time than 1t takes to say Jack

the spot where Munson had Disappeared. BY
this time the shore was lined with anxious
spectators, who stood breathlessiy watching
the young heroine send her trim little craft
flying over the water.
She reached the spot Just as Munson rose to
tho surface for tho third time. AS the boat
came alongside OF the Drowning broker tho
oars dropped, and Miss Parkinson. knooling oil

caught the broker Just as no WAS sinking for

less than superhuman she gathered all her
strength and hauled the very much democrat
